Lake Powell; Navaho Canyon

I take my 22' out on Powell every month of the year, rain, snow, or shine. I've learned a lot about the Lake over the last 3 years. Can't promise to make the annual C-Brats round up there but would be happy to provide info and answer questions if I can. Will try and post some pics in my...

Tiller rig after broken steering cable, courtesy of the factory

CAVU: I left the tie bar attached and ran both engines back to port. Once the cable is cut the engines will pivot easily together. I ran through only a light chop at 15 knots and the boat handled well. There is prop torque to port on the end of the tiller, but I just tied off the end of the...

CAVU: The steering always felt tight, but not to the extent the boat could not be controlled. I have piloted the boat in very rough water, eg off Neah Bay, WA on numerous occassions. Moving the wheel required some effort but how much did not become apparent until I replaced the steering unit...

A few months ago the Teleflex steering cable on my 2004 22' (with twin 40 HP Suzi's) broke while setting the anchor. Needless to say I was grateful this didn't happen while underway, in a storm or in poor sea conditions. The result could have been dire. When I replaced the cable I found that...

No. I base this on driving my 22 many miles, including a 1300 mile cross country trip. A single axle trailer, of any manufacturer is a joke under a 22. Weigh your boat at any CAT scale and then check the rating of your trailer, including your tire load rating. Then give yourself some...

hammerhead: There's a nice summary at: http://www.boatus.com/boattech/casey/25.htm The thru hull is a seacock. I prefer brass/bronze. Make sure it has a ball valve so you can shut it off if needed. Be sure you ground it to your negative bus bar or negative battery terminal. (Most come with...

I have just completed the mountings on my 22 for installation of this baby: http://www.spudtech.com/

Just a quick follow up to my earlier post. This winter (like an idiot) I left the washdown pump described above (Johnson WPS 3.4) charged and during a cold snap the outer plastic head cracked. So began the sad saga of finding spare parts. I got in touch with Johnson's national sales manager...

Having trim tabs on my 22 and having piloted following seas on the Pacific outside Neah Bay running at up to 9 feet 7 seconds, I can tell you I never run with trib tabs down in a following sea. Why? Because another time at Neah in only 6 foot waves every 12 seconds I did so and the boat...

Here's what Blue Sea has to say:

Adeline: So what did Blue Sea tell you? I looked at the wiring diagrams for both components off the Bliue Sea web site. Looking at your photo it's tough to draw any conclusions as the battery switch is connection-side down and other connections to the batteries are omitted (like the jumper...

For $65 an ACR is a good investment - even if your memory about switching battery banks is perfect. Here's why: the primary advantage of an ACR is it works to maintain optimal charges in BOTH batteries in as short a period of time as possible. This is important because an undercharged battery...

I would call Blue Sea. I wonder if the combination you have there is what you want. I believe (but don't quote me) that the 7600 does not require a battery combining switch - it does this on its own. See also that Blue Sea offers a combiner switch (like yours with a different ACR - see...

Can't tell you about this particular fan, but I can tell you I fitted my boat with a 12V computer case blower that draws 0.3 amps and moves over 30 CFM. See this link for example and note the price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811999039 It works most excellently as a...

So what do you cook in this gizmo? Must not take too long as I would guess your battery (not being charged but topped off to begin with) would have about 5-6 hours (8.3 amp draw). So maybe not a turkey but instead a cookie?
